China did handle the situation poorly in the beginning, trying to suppress the numbers maybe. But the thing is, other countries are doing the same mistake, while not being prepared to do what China did next. Trump said there is nothing to w

Yup, but the two events which US did face on it's soil (Pearl Harbour and 9/11) did boost the support for the sitting presidents though.

Considering the fact that most War time presidents in US do not lose elections, what impact do you think the current health crisis will have on Trump's re-election?

No, that is totally wrong. The medical system would collapse. See what is happening in Italy. Most of the critical cases require ICU. There aren't enough ventilators if everyone gets infected. And without proper care, not just old but

I mean if we have arrived at a point where majority of the people can't be convinced of the existence of this, and the only way to make them understand is to do some damage, we have bigger problems as a society in front of us. You don&

Is there any map of the spread within Italy (or any other country) region wise, so that one could see how effected different regions are, and how region wise quarantined have worked.

This applies not just to CEOs, but political leaders too. Even Churchil, considered a hero in Britain after WWII, lost the next election badly to Atlee, as people were looking for a peacetime leader. The good thing is Atlee setup the NHS.

I think Schmidt was the real wartime CEO here, when the war could have extinguished Google. e,g. Microsoft changing the default search engine on IE when it had > 80% share could have hurt google a lot more than Facebook or social ever co

I think it is fine to let the idiots win on this one and rub it in our face forever. I would be willing to boost the ego of anyone if we can contain this.

Just curious, does anybody know how did Japan manage to do so well, inspite of a very old population. Also what does HN think is the better place to be right now? A mega city or a small village?

Yup, Korea's Patient #31 made things a lot worse, or else they would be doing much better right now.

Everything becomes politically feasible once the public appetite is changed by events. All the post 9/11 events in the US (Patriot act, Iraq war) would not have been politically feasible pre 9/11.

Outside of google, what other C++ libraries do you think help in writing services in C++. C++ lacks a huge amount of libraries compared to something like java, e.g, I can't even find a half decent http client which handles all the impo

Redis is slower than LMDB? This sounds very hard to believe, since redis operates purely in memory, and all the data structures are designed with that in mind. LMDB does disk writes for every key value set operation. So I find it hard to be

Golang? The go standard library is very good for writing network servers. It is effortless to write a service speaking HTTP with good enough performance. Doing the right thing is also easy. For example, using io.Copy uses splice or sendfile
